Someone Put Your Hand Out

Michael Jackson · The Ultimate Collection [2009]

Never try to talk about it

It's got to sound good to me inside

I just think about it



I'm so undemanding

'Cause they say love is blind

I've lived this life pretending

I can bear this hurt deep inside



The truth is I'm been longing

A love that's so divine

I've searched this whole world wishing

She'll be there time after time



So someone put your hand out

I'm begging for your love

All I do is hand out a heart that needs your love



I've lived my life the lonely

A soul that cries of shame

With handicapped emotions

Save me now from what still remains



I'll be your story hero

A serenading ryne

I'm just needing that someone

Save me now from the path I'm on...



Someone put your hand out

I'm begging for your love

'Cause all I do is hand out a heart that needs your love

Someone put your hand out

I'm begging for your love

All I do is hand out a heart that needs your love



When you say we will dance 'til the light of day

It's just like the children running with joy

When we pray will you promise me you'll always stay

It's because I'm needing that someone



Someone put your hand out

I'm begging for your love

'Cause all I do is hand out a heart that needs your love

Someone put your hand out

I'm begging for your love

All I do is hand out

Someone put your hand out

I'm begging for your love

All I do is hand out

Love
